Unwanted critters

[kmgk92]

Hi everyone. Need some advice. We keep our camper on a seasonal site. Until this year we haven't had any critter issues. Unfortunately a our camper went unused for about 3 weeks. Now that we are back to using it I found we have unwanted critters. I'm not sure if it's mice, chipmunks or squirrels. I have spent the last two nights listening to them running in the ceiling. Yesterday I place traps in various areas and sealed any place I thought they might be coming in. I plan to check the roof today. Does anyone have any other suggestions? I still haven't figured out how to get traps in the ceiling since that's where I know they are.

Try taking off the inside plastic trim peice on your roof vent, you should be able to see in your attic space. Put a couple traps in there. I would also tie a peice of string to the trap so you can retreive it. Good luck.

Driving them out once they are inside could be different than preventing them from getting in to start with. Some people swear by the electronic repellers. I tried them years ago in a garage and didn't notice any effect. Maybe newer ones work better or maybe a more powerful one. Some say it might take a couple weeks for them to escape the annoying sound.

One thing I wouldn't do is put out poison. Been there done that. You'll regret it. Use traps or sticky pads.

I've been told that if you put dryer sheets all around in cabinets, storage areas etc that most critters hate the smell or something about them and will relocate. Not sure how true it is but I have them all over my RV. Sealing everything up tight is also a good idea. You can also put them hanging out of your pocket for a mosquito repellent. Good luck!
